  1. I'm sorry you are going through this. I lost the love of my life Oct 14. We started dating when I was 15, married as teenagers and had an incredibly happy marriage that lasted 41 years. He died without a word of complaint in my arms. My neighbour gave me two bits of advice, one day at a time and say yes to everything. That is what I have done. Illness, death and dying is difficult for most people to deal with, I have been on the other side and found myself in the position of not knowing what to say or do so try so I understand when people withdraw from me. Thankfully I have been surprised by how many people have invited me out. I have gone and found myself having fun which is exactly what my husband did through out his illness and right up until his last few days. JIll
  2. Hi, I'm am new to this site so here goes. The love of my life, best friend and husband of 41 years died Oct 14, 2010. We married as teenagers, had a business out of our home and shared nearly all aspects of our life together. A neighbor who lost her husband a few years ago has given me some of the best advice to date. 1) one day at a time and 2) never say no to an invitation. I realize this isn't for everyone and as I usually just wanted to be home with Mike I am surprised it has been so good for me but it has. I try and be interested in their lives and find myself laughing. My husband had cancer so we knew this was coming, he died with no regrets at home in my arms and although I miss him every second of every day I think losing a loved one suddenly is such a shock and quite different. Our last words were how much we loved each other. My family and friends have been an absolute blessing plus if you say no too often they may stop asking.
